When you look at the squad prior to us signing Moreno, the best fullback at the club is Enrique by quite some distance. Second best is probably Flanagan who has only ever played first team football consistently at LB (and he's done relatively well in the position making him a reliable backup at LB).
If 12-15 mill was to be spent on a fullback, I would much rather had seen it spent on a RB rather than a LB. That said, if Moreno is as good as many on the forum are making out, then spending the money on his bargain signing is a no brainer. I havent seen enough of him to have an opinion one way or the other, but I'm hopeful.
I'm still not sure who starts at RB for us. My worry is that Johnson might very well get a pass into the starting 11 courtesy of us not having any decent competition in the side. I really hope BR either brings someone in for RB or decides to give Flanagan more of a chance to make the role his own. Either way, its something we'll need to resolve by next summer unless Manquillo develops beyond expectation over the season.
Well my point is lets wait and see before declaring it as a "shambles"
